The  Proposed  New  Church 


^ 


(  )R  a  number  of  years  the  nieml)ers  of  the  Summit 
Street  L'nited  Urethren  I'hurch  ha\e  felt  the  need 
of  a  new,  more  commodious,  and  more  modern 
church-building,  one  designed  to  accommodate  to 
better  advantage  the  various  activities  of  the  church, 
especially  the  Sunday  school,  Ladies'  Aid,  and  other 
present  organizations,  as  well  as  many  other  forms 
of  religious  and  social  work  in  contemplation.  All 
this  had  been  talked  of  for  a  long  time,  but  no  active  work  was  done 
toward  the  new  building  until  a  little  over  two  years  ago.  Then  a 
very  desirable  location  was  purchased  on  the  corner  of  Euclid  and 
Third  streets  by  the  trustees  ;  and  a  little  later  a  building  committee 
was  formed,  plans  were  laid,  and  preliminary  subscriptions  were 
taken  which  amounted  to  $17,000.00,  nearly  all  of  which  has  been 
paid,  and  the  remainder  probably  will  be  paid  in  a  short  time.  The 
lot  is  paid  for,  and  there  will  soon  be  $10,000.00  in  cash  on  deposit  for 
the  new  building. 

There  has  been  a  general  demand  among  our  members  that  the 
building  proceed  as  soon  as  possible.  In  response  to  this  demand, 
the  trustees  and  the  building  committee  have  had  various  plans  drawn 
by  an  architect,  which  were  discussed,  improved,  and  finally  agreed 
upon  as  presented  in  this  folder,  subject  to  such  changes  as  may  be 
suggested  by  members  or  may  seem  desirable  by  the  committee  on 
further  study. 

We  think  all  will  agree  that  this  wdll  give  us  a  commodious,  con- 
venient, and  beautiful  building,  and  one  which  will  go  far  to  arouse 
greater  interest  in  the  work  of  the  church,  religious  and  social. 

It  is  estimated  that  the  building,  according  to  these  plans,  built 
of  pressed  brick,  with  lledford  stone  trimmings,  slate  roof,  steam  heat, 
finished  with  plain  oak  and  hard  ])inc,  will  have  cost  about  $55,000.00 
when  completed. 

A  plan  has  been  formed  1)_\-  the  committee  to  raise  the  necessary 
additional  money,  and  it  is  ho])e(l  that  these  ])lans  will  be  satisfactory 
and  will  be  closely  adhered  to.  It  now  remains  for  the  members  to 
do  their  part. 

If  the-  members  subscribe  ])r()ni])tl\-  and  pa^■  into  the  treasurv 
$10,000.00.  the  building  will  be  begun  early  the  coming  s))ring,  with 
the  hope  that  in  a  year  we  shall  l)e  able  t<>  occu])y  the  new  and  long- 
dreamed-of  church  home. 


When    com]>leted,   this   church 
modious   place    in    wliicli    a    (IcnduI 

Almighty    God,   and   will    be   a    monument    lianded    ddwn    bv   this   to 
succeeding  generations. 


will    furnish   a   pleasant  and   com-

Explanation  gT  Plans 

The  Exterior 


The  pictures  on  the  next  two  pages  show  the  front  and  side  views 
of  the  proposed  new  church.  a\  hich  is  of  a  modern  and  attractive  style 
of  architecture.  It  has  a  wicUh  of  76  feet  on  Third  Street  and  152  feet 
on  Euclid  Street. 


First  Floor  Plan 

This  comprises  a  main  auditorium  which  will  seat  514  people; 
to  this  can  be  added,  l)y  raising-  partitions,  the  ladies'  parlor,  Sunday- 
school  and  class-rooms,  wdiicli,  together  with  the  balcony,  will  give  a 
total  seating  capacity  of  2,278,  all  within  sight  and  hearing  distance 
of  the  speaker.  In  addition  to  these  general  features,  the  main  iloor 
will  have  a  large  ladies'  parlor,  which  can  be  used  for  small  meetings, 
a  mothers'  room,  music  room  adjoining  the  choir  seats,  a  minister's 
room,  and  Sun(la}--school  offices  room,  etc. 

The  main  Sunda}'-school  room  will  accommodate  423  people. 
Opening  into  this  are  nine  class-rooms  on  the  main  hoor  and  eleven 
on  the  balcony  floor,  which  will  give  a  seating  capacity  of  1,248,  sup- 
plying ample  and  much-needed  facilities  for  the  various  departments 
of  our  Sundav-school  work. 


The  Basement 

The  basement,  in  addition  to  the  heating  plant  and  several  small 
rooms,  will  contain  three  large  rooms,  besides  a  dining-room  nearly 
50  feet  square.  A  large  kitchen  on  the  Euclid  Avenue  corner,  instead 
of  where  it  is  marked  on  the  present  plans.  The  main  church  floor 
\y\\\  be  elevated  7  feet  above  the  sidewalk,  which  will  give  a  dry  floor, 
high  ceiliufr.  and  i)lentv  of  lioht  to  the  basement.
